The Italian Trade Agency and ASSOMAC, the Italian National Association that represents the Italian Manufacturers of Machinery for Footwear, Leather Goods, Tannery, and Related Accessories, organized an Italian Pavilion at Sourcing at Magic which took place, online,  from September  15  to December  15, 2020. The Italian presence at Sourcing at Magic boasted 11 among the most representative Italian machinery manufacturers for footwear and leather processing including: S.P.S.Tecnologia Meccanica, Gus-bi officina Meccanica, Revomec, Ciucani Mocassino Machinery, Feltre, DV Leather, Mec Man, Lamebo, Newlast Italia, Mosconi, Elettrotecnica B.C.

 For the Italian footwear machinery industry Sourcing at Magic represented a unique opportunity to reach international clients and markets through an entirely digital B2B platform. The Pavilion was promoted by Collectively, the hosted companies exhibited  a wide range of advanced technologies, products and services,  showcasing their innovative solutions from tannery and sewing machines to more complex leather processing systems. 

Historically, Italy is the first and most important US supplier of machinery for processing leather and footwear. The “made in Italy” industrial machinery market share in this sector is  45.8% of the total imports. Not even the current situation with the consequent disruptions in global supply chains have undermined this record. In the first seven month of 2020, US imports of Italian leather and footwear processing machinery have already exceeded $ 6.8 million: an increase of 13.3% compared to the same period of 2019.
